I started with a one-way interview, at first I thought it was awkward but ended up being fine. During the one-way interview you are asked to do a pitch in 90 seconds but given time to prepare. That interview was then followed by another phone interview that was pretty much just another screening interview. Then I was brought in for an on-site interview and this is when I started to realize how little Lucid cares about their employment prospects. I was notified on a Tuesday that I was invited to an on-site interview, they asked me to send 3 times of availability for the current week and 3 times for the following. I gave them the times and Lucid scheduled me for the following day in the morning. It ended up being less than 20 hours after being notifies, which is not a real problem. I was in the week before my last semester of finals however it was not ideal. The part that frustrated me is that I got there early as usual and then they started the interview late and began a normal interview and then when it was time for me to ask questions and begin to evaluate Lucid to see if I felt I was a good fit, they abruptly interrupted and said we are out of time. I then received a tour and was told by employees that the hiring manager never hires anyone. However, I received an invitation to do an extensive demo presentation where I had to demo a product of my choice and present it remotely to the hiring managers. I requested to do this after my finals week, I was in 19 credit hours and wanted to give more attention to the presentation. They disregarded my request and then scheduled the demo presentation for Wednesday in the middle of the day. Probably the worst time for me. Presentation was a disaster. I spent valuable time preparing the presentation and setting up my own screen sharing software to use per request. The Director of Sales interrupted my presentation immediately and proceed to interrogate the topic I selected. I believe this was part of the exercise, if it wasn't he is a D*** that I would never want to work for. Then once I fielded all the condescending questions they ended the interview because they were out of time AGAIN I was not able to ask questions. They also were 10 minutes late to the presentation. Overall, HR was great and sales managers were not. My advice to future candidates is to do a presentation on something creative, even though the prompt says you can do products syou have sold in the past, and to ask questions to them throughout the interview. Don't let them dominate the conversation and push you around for availability.

The interview process went really well and I had a few interviews with management. They were all very nice and welcoming to me. The interview with the VP of Sales was the hardest interview because he wanted me to show him proof of previous performance. I think that's a great idea and I was ready for it.
